| I visited my mechanic today, I bought new battery for my wagon because there are 90% of chances that he will be finished tomorrow and I will drive it home. He spent there almost 3 months. Here is what I found First - my baby And some interesting cars | |

| Wow, can't make them all out, but I see a 59 Caddy, a 59 Oldsmobile, 60? Lincoln Continental and a 66 Pontiac. Those are rare in the US, let alone Poland. That Caddy convertible is worth some $$$. The Pontiac looks like it has Minnesota number plates on it. Obviously, your mechanic likes big American cars.

| Its ashamed to leave those great old cars out in the open like that.The 66 pontiac looks like it might be a driver or was one recently. Jim |

| I'll do some more pictures tomorrow (I hope), but I have to tell you, all of these cars are in very good condition and they drive quite often, they do not stay in some museum. I drove this caddy to my wedding ...and I run over a dog when getting back home , but the dog lives (just broken leg). You have to admin, it looks good on my driveway I had it for whole weekend! | |

| WOW some NICE cars. I also kinda cringed seeing that 59 out with snow on it.
In the wedding pic, is that a Caprice or Impala in the garage behind it? | |
